Best: My aunt’s wedding. Super quick ceremony. I and my cousins were all in the 6-11 year old age range. She had a piñata for us at the reception. We devoured candy and danced and ran around like maniacs, it was glorious.
Worst: Years later, one of those same cousins mentioned above gets married. In July. In Massachusetts. Outside. The heat and humidity were unbearable. And they KNEW the weather was gonna be shit, because the wedding program they handed out to everyone before the ceremony began was shaped like a fucking fan. THEY KNEW.
The ceremony finally ends and the catering staff makes everyone wait outside the dining hall in the heat for unknown reasons for another full hour. When we’re finally let in, the AC is struggling to keep up and it’s hot as hell in there, too. When the dinner is served, it is NOT the vegetarian lasagna I chose on the wedding invite, no, it’s a portabella mushroom burger. I hate mushrooms, I would have never chosen such a thing. They switched the menu out and didn’t tell anyone. Also, no open bar, wtf.
Lol. Typical. Leaving out the next verse conveniently.
Basically demanding that Husbands show the same love to wives as Christ did for the Church… Y’know, the Guy who said “I came not be served but to serve”, washed His disciples, ended up being crucified… But demanding a man love his wife that much may make him uneasy, and that’s not good for us men, is it? /s
I saw a sermon a while ago, and the pastor said that taking a bullet is easier than the day-to-day “dying” to yourself that you’ll have to do for your wife. Such as sacrificing things that you enjoy doing for her sake. But people don’t seem to understand that dynamic.
